According to an order issued by the SEC, the colour of the ballot paper for the corporator/councilor will be pink and for mayor/chairperson will be yellow.
As per an earlier order, all elections to the Office of Mayors/Chairpersons and Corporators/Councilors will be held by using EVMs supplied by the Commission.
Ballot papers will be printed and pasted in the ballot unit of the EVM and they will also be used for the purpose of election duty certificate and tended vote.
Elections for 107 Municipalities/NACs and three Corporations Bhubaneswar, Cuttack and Berhampur are likely to be conducted soon after the Panchayat poll in Odisha. The delimitation of wards, reservation seats and all other formalities required to conduct the ULB election has already been completed.
Recently, the Commission has also enhanced the spending limit of the candidates contesting for the post of Councillors, Corporators, Chairpersons and Mayors in the civic bodies.
